For anyone wondering how to get the SAP NW RFC working in Power BI so you can connect to a SAP BW Datasource, download the SAP NW RFC files from the SAP Website (DLL + LIB files). Extract the downloaded file and copy the contents into the BIN folder located inside your Power BI installation directory.

    Hi,

    I have fixed this. You need SAP.net connector installed in your GAC library. The SAP .net connector is available in SAP library. Once you start installing it will prompt for where to install, select the second option i.e. Install in GAC.

    Also make sure you get the correct version of SAP. net connector. If you have 32 bit version of Power Bi desktop, you need 32 bit SAp.net connector else for 64 bit power Bi version, you need 64 bit >net connector.

    Also I havent tried, but i believe these connectors will be available in GAC if you are in a windows 10 machine, so you can try that option too.

    Thanks,
